Something about new "CoD" title that is truly abisimal.

In a discussion here about a year ago. Oleg indicated that the title would possibly be changed. Maybe CoD was his idea, and not one that came from ubi.

How long does it have to take before people settle down with/realize that it's part namechange, part marketing. Imagine gamers searching Google for CoD. IMO it's a brilliant idea to catch the casual flight simmers that may not even have heard of this game yet.

The name is fine. If someone is interested in a serious combat flight sim and checks the market place I have no doubt he'll find his way to Cliffs. I would also be surprised if some (tho probably minor) level of marketing research wasn't conducted in deciding on the name.

I have to agree that it may be a great way to capture an audience by name confusion.

Still:
"Hey, did you get that awesome new game, COD??"
"Which one?"
"Huh, the first one?"
"What century are you from, it was so last century!"
"Whu?? Not that one, dufus, the flying one"
"oh"

If anyone confuses Call of Duty with Cliffs of Dover they, frankly, shouldn't even bother opening the box...
